From blank-page idea to financed, phased, build-ready plan. Each of the 6 chapters has a concrete deliverable — by the end you'll have a vision document, a site evaluation, a layout, a milking-system decision, a cashflow model, and a phased build schedule.
Chapter 1 of Designing your first dairy. Setting the vision, sizing the herd to the goal, and writing the business case that survives reality.
Chapter 2 of Designing your first dairy. The 12-point site-evaluation checklist that prevents the most expensive build mistakes.
Chapter 3 of Designing your first dairy. Choosing the right barn architecture for your climate, herd size, and operating model.
Chapter 4 of Designing your first dairy. Choosing between parlor and robot, then sizing whichever you pick to your shift length and operator count.
Chapter 5 of Designing your first dairy. Sizing feed storage, choosing between TMR and component feeding, and the water-system design that prevents intake bottlenecks.
Chapter 6 of Designing your first dairy. The phased build schedule and the cashflow discipline that keeps a new dairy out of financial trouble.
